Parents' Memories ❤️

101 classics our parents used to listen to

A direct trip back to childhood. Parents' Memories ❤️ is the music our parents listened to, the songs that played at home when we were kids: 101 songs — nearly 5 and a half hours — put together by Lalo Diener. Here's what you'll find and why it deserves a Follow.

The soundtrack of another era

This playlist gathers the great international classics of the sixties and seventies: soft pop, folk, ballads, and even bossa nova, with melodies that crossed borders and languages. These are the songs our parents played on the record player or in the car, and today they bring back memories from the very first chord.

From English to French and Portuguese, it's a tender, nostalgic journey, perfect for remembering, sharing with family, and understanding where so much beautiful music comes from.
